PEANUT BUTTER (or nut/seed butter) & JAM STUFFED DATES

PB&J Stuffed Dates with diced dark chocolate and salt flakes.

Medjool Dates stuffed with Fatso Maple peanut butter, homemade raspberry chia seed jam, diced dark chocolate, and salt flakes.

Trust me when I say you want to try these Peanut Butter (or Almond Butter) & Jam Stuffed Dates.  So freakin yummy.  Super satisfying.  Free of refined sugar.  Suitable for vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and Whole30 diets. And incredibly easy to make.  Doesn’t get much better than that.

Above I used Fatso Maple peanut butter, but you can use your peanut, nut, or seed butter of choice.  If sending in school lunches, I opt for nut-free tahini or sunflower seed butter.  I am also a huge fan of Fatso’s Salted Caramel flavour (not sponsored, just sharing!).

The measurements provided are approximations only.  You will need more or less peanut or nut/seed butter depending on the size of your dates and how much you like to stuff them. If you plan to dip the stuffed dates in melted chocolate (see directions here), be careful to not overfill.  Otherwise, you do you!  

Medjool Dates stuffed with almond butter, homemade raspberry chia seed jam, and granola.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large Medjool dates

  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter or nut/seed butter of choice

  • 1 to 2 Tbsp raspberry chia seed jam (see easy recipe here)

  • optional toppings: finely diced Giddy Yo cacao bar (above), granola, Maldon salt flakes, unsweetened shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, chia seeds, homemade edible cookie dough, candied ginger, naturally-coloured sprinkles, or toppings of choice

Directions:

  1. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a slit lengthwise down each date and remove the pits.  Then, with your fingers, gently open some space inside each date (to make room for more PB!).

  2. Fill each date with approximately 1 tsp of the peanut/nut/seed butter, pushing as much into the “pockets” of the dates as possible (see note above).

  3. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp chia jam to each date, then sprinkle with additional toppings as desired. Chill before serving.

These Stuffed Dates can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or the freezer for longer.
